TECHNICAL NOTES 9 FLOTATION
Almost all successful models of the flotation process have been based on the premise that flotation is a kinetic process. In this way a model can be formulated in terms of a rate of flotation which can be quantified in terms of some of the many chemical and physical factors that define the environment inside a flotation cell.

Flotation technique: Its mechanisms and design parameters
Feed in flotation consists of wide range of particle size, therefore, flotation column needs to have wider bubble size to target fine as well as coarse size particles [13, 14]. So, flotation of fine particles is one of the major challenging tasks. ... The size of produced bubbles in the cell is in the range of 0.1–0.6 mm diameter [56, 57].

Effect of Flotation Feed Density on the Operation of a Flotation Cell
Flotation feed density is an operating parameter which is currently not well understood. Most models of flotation only incorporate its effect on particle residence time, but it is likely to have additional effects within both the pulp and froth phases of the machine. Test work was performed in Æs 3 m3 RCS test rig to investigate the effect of flotation feed density …

On Limits to Flotation Cell Size
Mechanical cells have seen an exponential increase in size over the past 60 years. However, a possible size limitation due to carrying capacity constraints has been raised. Taking a Cu porphyry case, a cell sizing exercise is used to show that possible size limitation due to carrying capacity can be tested using available techniques. A range of conditions is explored …
